Chris Marrou to retire from KENS

What a stunner! Chris Marrou, the name synonymous with “Eyewitness News” for more than three decades, announced today he has decided to retire.

Yes, the KENS anchorman, on the verge of turning 62, will end a career — spanning more than 35 years — at the end of this year, he said on today’s 6 p.m. news.

The man known for his mid-news quips and pun-filled “Newsreel” — and a ratings history filled with more No. 1′s than anyone else in town — said he plans to pursue other ventures, combining law and business.

He obtained his law degree not too long ago from St. Mary’s University, and opened a practice here.
